Students find fiesta- themed fundraiser offensive

The Greek community at Dartmouth College cancels a fundraiser when students says they were highly offended. One student Daniela Hernandez says the “Cinco de Mayo” theme was culturally and racially offensive.

“As a Mexican-born, United States-raised, first-generation woman of color, it was sadly unsurprising that a culturally themed party was seen as a casual venture for such a privileged institution such as Dartmouth,” says student Daniela Hernandez, a student at the Dartmouth College.
